It has gradually entered the summer, the sky is getting earlier and earlier, and the lotus flowers in the pond of Linfu are also crowded and full of ponds, and the breeze sends the fragrance of lotus flowers to the courtyard of Lin Zhuyun.

Xiaotang entered the room with the plum soup in a white porcelain cup, and the ice cubes collided with each other in the cup to make a crisp sound.

"Miss, it's already dawn, and the slave maid will prepare plum soup for you to relieve the heat."

Lin Zhuyun opened his hazy sleepy eyes, got up and stretched.

"Xiaotang, you called two people to help me move the rosewood guqin to the pavilion in the courtyard, and I want to practice the piano after breakfast today."

The two maids moved the piano to the courtyard, and Lin Zhuyun, who had breakfast, sat down in a lilac silk gauze skirt as thin as cicada wings, and began to caress it.

The song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" stretched to the courtyard next door.

Next door is the back garden of the Kuang family, Kuang Lin changed into a dark color dress today, and pinned the dragon-shaped jade pendant that was touched warm and translucent around his waist.

The black hair is made into a bun and tied on the top of the head, and a few strands of broken hair are scattered to slightly block the terrible scar on the forehead.

Sitting at the stone table, he heard the sound of the piano, put down the tea cup in his hand, closed his eyes and quietly listened to the music coming from next door.

First, it is a soothing and beautiful prelude, and then it turns into a jumping and agile melody, as if the geese have really fallen into the pool in front of them and are fluttering and playing in the water.

But suddenly the melody suddenly changed, and it was no longer the tune of the flat sand and falling geese in the piano score, but Lin Zhuyun playing casually.

The melody was gloomy and sad, as if the wild goose that had been playing in the water just now was suddenly choked by the throat by the hunter and let out a whimpering cry for help.

Kuang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and walked quickly to the wall, and was trying to ask only to realize that it was just the atmosphere created by the sound of the piano.

The sad tone became more and more urgent, and Kwong was anxious to hear it, pacing back and forth in the little garden.

At last the wild goose was as calm as death, and the sound of the piano was long and heavy, causing the maids who were adding tea to Kuang Lonely's side to sigh.

When everyone thought that the performance was over, the sound of the piano suddenly turned sharply, as if thousands of troops were killing together, and it was like a snow-capped mountain collapsing and decaying. All the hatred and remorse turned into the wind sword and frost sword, and there was no piece of armor left.

The long song finally came to an end, and Kuang Lin was amazed in her heart, listening to her stroking the piano in the past, or her little daughter Huaichun, or Qingli and cunning, or cheerful and happy.

How can it be that today, it is as if he has been reborn for a lifetime to seek revenge.

He stroked the jade pendant he was wearing around his waist, and felt that the momentum revealed by Lin Zhuyun Fuqin today reminded him of their first meeting.

Since he was born, Kuang Lin has been known as the son of the general's mansion, and it is natural that he has practiced hard in the military camp every day, and after the hair salute, he arrogantly thought that he had become a sword waiting to be bladed, so he begged his father to take him to the battlefield.

At that time, he was only fifteen years old, and how did he know that the flesh and bones were thin and the liver and marrow were flowing on the real battlefield.

Not long after he rode out on his horse, the head of the charging soldier in front of him was instantly cut off by the enemy's broadsword, and the blood-soaked head grazed his cheek and flew out.

At that time, it was the first time he faced the bloody killing so realistically, and the first time he saw the head of his brother who was intimately trained in the barracks fall to the ground, he was stunned for a moment, and the other side would not let go of this opportunity, and the big knife would be slashed in front of him.

Fortunately, Father Kuang on the side quickly pulled his reins to the other side, so that he did not die on the spot, but the corner of his forehead was also cut hard, and the blood flowed immediately.

Although it hurt to the bone marrow, he ripped off his shirt and bandaged it indiscriminately and rushed into the battlefield again, fighting to the end.

Fortunately, the war was won by the south, Kuang's father returned triumphantly with Kuang Lonely, and Kuang's mansion set up a banquet for them to receive the wind and wash the dust, and invited the rich families of the mausoleum to come.

Kuang Lin hid in the backyard and did not want to see visitors, the wound on his forehead was stitched up at will after the war, the thread was scribbled, and the pink flesh was turned up, which was very terrible, he never wanted to look at his face again, although he was wrapped in gauze for the time being, but he was still alone in the rockery in the backyard, refusing to see people.

However, a group of noblemen who were also only fifteen or sixteen years old, somehow heard that he was wounded on the battlefield without taking a single soldier, and after finding him in the backyard, they dragged him out of the rockery and ridiculed him to the extreme.

He explained that he was not injured and fled, and in the end of the battle, those boys laughed, saying that it was just a lie told by Father Kuang for the sake of face, and persuaded him not to lie to himself.

He clenched his fists and wanted to resist, he was physically strong, and he could knock down those pampered sons and brothers with one punch, but the gauze that wrapped his forehead was suddenly torn off by a boy, and the terrible wound was revealed, and the disgusted eyes of everyone made him panic immediately, and he covered the scar with both hands and did not dare to move.

Seeing this, those sons and brothers laughed even louder, and the vulgar and vicious words continued one after another.

The despair that Kuang Lin felt around him at that time was worse than the day he first went to battle, and he began to doubt whether he doubted his father and taught him to protect the mausoleum all the time. Why risk your life to protect these people, and are these people worth their lives?

Just then, a crisp ringing sound came from an arch in the backyard.

Walked in a pink-faced red lips, dressed in a gold hundred butterflies wearing a flower cloud brocade jacket of seven or eight years old, she combed her forehead hair in a double hanging bun, and her hair ornaments and earrings were all verdant ice jade, and her body was luxurious and magnificent, but it was difficult to hide a trace of cuteness on her fleshy face.

Such a petite and lovely person, obviously only half as tall as Kuang Lone, but he went straight in front of Kuang Lone, and looked angrily at the group of troublesome sons and brothers.

Seeing that her clothes and accessories were expensive and extraordinary, the boy's brothers didn't dare to make a mistake for a while.

She scolded them in her slightly childish voice, she insulted the lord's son even though she was a guest, and she spurned them when she was hiding in Lingcheng and was protected by General Kuang but wanted to mock the people who gave up their bodies on the battlefield.

The words were deafening, and they were ashamed and departed.

That was the first time Kuang Lin felt redeemed, when the concept he had been instilled since birth was about to fall apart, when he thought he was going to fall into the abyss forever, she redeemed him like a bodhisattva who fell from the sky, pulled him up from the abyss, and let him find the meaning of protection.

Kuang Lin thanked her and asked her who she was, but she waved her pink little hand and left without speaking.

Later, Kuang Lin knew that she was Lin Zhuyun, the youngest daughter of Lin Ji Yudiao, and it was the first time she participated in a banquet in the outer house, so others didn't know about it.

Later, Kuang Lin asked his father to go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage.

"It's been nine years." Kuang Xiao stroked the jade pendant and muttered.

He had been waiting for her seventeenth birthday for nine years.

……

Lin Zhuyun had long forgotten about this matter, and now she was thinking hard about how to contact Jiang Yu when she went to Moxiang Building.

The second brother of the Lin family stepped into Lin Zhuyun's courtyard at this time: "Sister! My good sister, why do you still have the leisure to play the piano here! Don't you know that the dark alley is in such a hurry? ”

Lin Zhuyun grinned at the second brother of the Lin family and said, "With the second brother, the master of jade carving, as the backbone, why am I in a hurry." ”

The second brother of the Lin family picked up the fan in his hand and gently tapped her head: "You are really powerful." Let's change into low-key clothes, we have to go to the dark alley today, and let the shopkeepers who hook the fence choose the pattern well, so that we can deliver the goods on time. ”

"The little woman obeys."

After a while, Lin Zhuyun changed into a plain narrow-sleeved shirt and wore a veil to cover his face.

The second brother of the Lin family nodded and said, "Yes, this body is about the same." Let's go directly to the Jasmine Building, and the shopkeepers of each family should be waiting there together. ”

In the dark alley during the day, the main entrance of the goulan tile shop is closed, and the awake Qingmen lazily lean on the second floor to bask in the sun, and come to the end of the alley, which is the jasmine building at night.

The second brother of the Lin family and Lin Zhuyun entered the lobby from the side door with a few small servants, and there were already several shopkeepers waiting in the lobby.

As soon as she saw someone coming, the female shopkeeper of Jasmine Xianglou hurriedly greeted her: "Presumably, the two are Lin Gongzi and Miss Lin, they really have extraordinary temperament!" I'm flattered that I have to bother you to come in person. ”

The second brother of the Lin family returned the salute and said lightly: "The trust of the county prince, how dare you slack off." ”

The management of the dark alley is under the name of the Duke of Lingcheng County, and this time it was he who proposed to Lin's father that he wanted Lin Ji to make a batch of jade hairpins, otherwise Lin Ji, who has always only supplied royal nobles, would not agree to this business.

After hearing this, the female shopkeeper smiled and said, "Please come to the inner room, we have prepared tea, and we will talk slowly." ”

This conversation lasted for a long time, but both parties were businessmen who knew that harmony made money, so they successfully negotiated the style, jade materials, delivery time, silver money, and so on.

After the deeds were signed, the female shopkeeper sent the second brother of the Lin family and Lin Zhuyun out of the Jasmine Building with a spring breeze on her face, and greeted the two of them at the door: "We are not a pickled place like a kiln, it is also an elegant place, especially the girl of the Jasmine House is the most talented in the whole mausoleum. ”

Lin Zhuyun didn't wait for her second brother to answer, and took the first step to say: "This shopkeeper, I heard that there is a Jiang Yu girl with excellent piano skills in the Jasmine Building, I don't know if the rumors are true?" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled and said, "That's right! That's right! Miss Jiang Yu's piano skills are not said to be in Lingcheng, and even the entire southern country can't find a few comparable to her. ”

Lin Zhuyun smiled and said: "I won't tell you, I have always loved the qin, and I have found a lot of rare guqin scores, but those teachers and sisters always play the wrong taste, I think if I can get the advice of Miss Jiang Yu, the little woman will be grateful." ”

The second brother of the Lin family suddenly realized at this time: "I can't hang you up early this morning playing the qin!" It turns out that you still have this selfishness, you little girl. ”

The female shopkeeper listened but said with a little hesitation: "Of course it is okay to teach Miss Lin to touch the qin, but it is because of Miss Jiangyu's special status......"

She paused and covered her mouth and whispered: "She is the daughter of a criminal exiled from Beijing, and there is a decree that she must not step out of the Jasmine Building, if Miss Lin wants to learn the piano from her, I am afraid that you need to come to our Jasmine Mansion in person." ”

Lin Zhuyun was shocked, she knew that the wives and daughters of the ministers who had committed serious crimes in the southern country would never come out of the goulan tiles in the border land, but she didn't know that this Moxianglou was actually the place where this punishment was carried out.

Hearing this, the second brother of the Lin family said: "The little sister is a little wanton by the family, please forgive the shopkeeper, she will not come to disturb Miss Jiang Yu." ”

Lin Zhuyun was about to speak, but was glared back by the eyes of the second brother of the Lin family.

It seems that it is mostly difficult to make friends with Jiang Yu.
